Jay-Z and Kanye West’s smash single ‘N*ggas In Paris‘ lands in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, making Jay-Z the new record holder with 18 songs landing in the Top 10.
Watch The Throne will without a doubt go down as one of hip hop’s most classic albums, and many will argue that it was the top album release of 2011. With multiple Grammy nominations for The Throne, it could definitely end up being the album of the year.
The collaboration project ended up selling nearly 500k copies in its first week, and recently became certified Platinum, but had yet to release a single that landed the rap duo in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 list.
The rap duo has released four singles that reached the Billboard Hot 100 including ‘Otis,’ ‘H.A.M.,’ ‘Who Gon Stop Me,’ and ‘N*ggas In Pars.’ Of the four songs, ‘N*ggas in Paris’ is the only one to break into the Top 10 this past week, rising from the number 15 spot all the way down to the number 8 spot.
Aside from being the first Top 10 single from ‘Watch The Throne,’ the song allowed Jay-Z to break the Top 10 Record tie held by both Lil Wayne and Ludacris at 17 singles. Kanye West is also creeping up on the list, making this is 14th Top 10 single.
